Smugglers to be sentenced in 53 migrant deaths from 2022 human smuggling tragedy in Texas
SAN ANTONIO (AP) — Two smugglers convicted of federal charges in connection with the deaths of 53 migrants found in the back of a sweltering tractor-trailer in Texas in 2022 face up to life in prison when they are scheduled to be sentenced Friday. Felipe Orduna-Torres and Armando Gonzales-Ortega are to be the first of several defendants sentenced in the San Antonio tragedy, which remains the nation's deadliest human smuggling attempt across the U.S.-Mexico border. A jury convicted the men in March of being part of a human smuggling conspiracy that resulted in death and injury. Prosecutors described Orduna-Torres as the leader of the smuggling operation inside the U.S. and Gonzales-Ortega as his top assistant. The immigrants had come from Guatemala, Honduras and Mexico and had paid between $12,000 and $15,000 each to be smuggled into the United States, according to an indictment in the case. They had made it as far as the Texas border city of Laredo when they were placed into a tractor-trailer with broken air conditioning for a three-hour drive to San Antonio. As the temperature rose inside the trailer, those inside screamed and banged the walls of the trailer for help or tried to claw their way out, investigators said. Most eventually passed out. When the trailer was opened in San Antonio, 48 people were already dead. Another 16 were taken to hospitals, where five more died. The dead included six children and a pregnant woman. Investigators said the Orduna-Torres and Gonzales-Ortega worked with human smuggling operations in Guatemala, Honduras and Mexico, and shared routes, guides, stash houses, trucks and trailers. Orduna-Torres provided the address in Laredo where they would be picked up, and Gonzalez-Ortega met them there. Five other men previously pleaded guilty to felony charges in the smuggling case, including the truck driver Homero Zamorano Jr., who was found hiding near the trailer in some bushes. Zamorano faces up to life in prison when sentenced in December. The other defendants are scheduled to be sentenced later this year. The incident is the deadliest among tragedies that have claimed thousands of lives in recent decades as people attempt to cross the U.S. border from Mexico. Ten immigrants died in 2017 after they were trapped inside a truck parked at a Walmart store in San Antonio. In 2003, the bodies of 19 immigrants were found in a sweltering truck southeast of San Antonio.

Wave of car break-ins hits Atlanta grocery stores, leaving victims frustrated
The Brief Thieves targeted vehicles at grocery stores in Atlanta's Poncey-Highland neighborhood, breaking into at least nine cars over the weekend. Surveillance footage shows suspects in a black Infiniti breaking into five cars at Kroger in seven minutes, leaving victims financially strained and frustrated. Atlanta Police report an increase in car-related crimes in the area, urging the public to provide any information about the incidents. COLLEGE PARK, Ga. - A group of thieves targeted vehicles outside multiple grocery stores in Atlanta's Poncey-Highland neighborhood over the weekend, breaking into at least nine cars and leaving workers frustrated and financially strained. What we know The string of break-ins occurred in the early hours of Saturday morning, primarily in the parking lot of the Kroger store off Ponce de Leon Avenue. Five employees who were working overnight reported their cars had been broken into. Just down the street, four more vehicles were hit at a nearby Publix, according to the Atlanta Police Department. What they're saying One Kroger employee, who did not want her face shown on camera, said she was working the third shift when the thieves smashed her car window. "Everybody is out here trying to make a dollar," she said. "It's not easy." She said the thieves took her bags containing credit cards and $300 in cash. The window repair cost her another $280. "I lost money and had to come up off more money. It's irritating, for sure," she said. Surveillance video from the Kroger reportedly shows the suspects—four young men in a black Infiniti—breaking into five cars in just seven minutes. "They were in and out," the employee said. The crimes have left victims feeling violated and wary. "Anything worth value they was taking. Just threw what they didn't want on the ground," the victim said. "I was saving up to get my baby a bed. To take something that doesn't belong to you—it's not right. But I do believe in karma. What goes around comes around." Big picture view Atlanta Police confirm the incidents are part of a broader uptick in car-related crimes in the area. Data shows multiple car thefts this month, including a stolen vehicle on Wednesday in Poncey-Highland and four more in the neighboring Old Fourth Ward. What you can do Authorities urge anyone with information about the break-ins to contact the Atlanta Police Department. The Source FOX 5's Kevyn Stewart spoke with the Atlanta Police Department and residents near Poncey-Highland and the Old Fourth Ward.
